The representatives of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (Celac) arrived over the weekend to participate in a meeting with Venezuelan authorities in order to finalize agreements on science and technology.

During the meetings held this Monday and Tuesday, Celac and Venezuela have discussed in working groups “on food sustainability, communicable and non-communicable diseases, space capacities, as well as mitigation and adaptation to the climate crisis.”

The meeting, as indicated by the local Ministry of Science and Technology in a statement, is a “dialogue space focused on promoting the exchange of knowledge and scientific activity, to agree on solutions to shared problems” among the members of the organization.

During the inauguration of the Celac summit this Monday, the president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, pointed out that the Latin American organization must lead “the construction projects of the continent. It has to be at the forefront of the search for solutions to problems that have arisen as a result of climate change; the diverse affectations that there are for the climate, agriculture, health.”

Venezuela also proposed that issues that are currently discussed on the global stage be addressed, such as “digital transformation and artificial intelligence”, in addition to “science, technology and innovation for social inclusion and the exchange of ancestral knowledge”.
